(How to Stay the Course and Get it Done!)
featuring Brooke Warner
SCROLL DOWN TO REGISTER
In-Person and Zoom
In person meeting includes buffet lunch. For online attendees—the Zoom link will be sent to you after you complete the registration process.
In-person check-in begins at 11:00 a.m.
This talk will support writers and authors who are working on book projects to stay the course, give themselves the much-needed high-fives along the way, and remember that the journey is indeed the reward. Getting a book done requires support. Sometimes all it takes is a shift in perspective, someone saying the right thing in the right moment. This session will include what Brooke Warner has learned in her coaching and shepherding of thousands of authors through the writing and publishing process—and will leave you feeling refreshed and inspired.
What you will learn:
- The role of confidence in your writing process
- Why facing your fears is the key to getting it done
- The importance of releasing perfectionism
- The power of accountability
Brooke Warner is publisher of She Writes Press and SparkPress, president of Warner Coaching Inc., and author of Write On, Sisters!, Green-light Your Book, What’s Your Book?, and three books on memoir. Brooke is a TEDx speaker, weekly podcaster (of “Write-minded” with co-host Grant Faulkner of NaNoWriMo), and the former Executive Editor of Seal Press. She writes a monthly column for Publishers Weekly.
